freeflyernc 0 #1 February 25, 2002 Hey everyone - I just spent the weekend at a Cessna Dropzone and did some RW camera work. I thought that my freefly suit would slow me down enough to make some cool videos, but i was wrong. I found myself working my ass off to stay above my target and my videos came out like crap. I am looking into ordering a camera suit to help out a bit- The question I have is what size wing to get? I am about 180lbs and 5'6. I am looking to do RW, Tandem, and AFF videos. Hope y'all can help!Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danger 0 #2 February 25, 2002 I would reccommend getting the largest wing possible. This way you can clip our wings over your harness to utilize the entire wing. Or, you can clip your wings UNDER your harness to create a smaller wing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayfive 0 #3 February 25, 2002 Camera suits come in many shapes and sizes. All suits come equipped for their specific use though not only for that particular use. I have two suits and could probably use two moreI prefer a Freefly suit modified with large (flip/flop) wings for fun video and tandems.but for four way its all business Booties and the largest wing to get as steep as possible on the team.Im not affiliated but I prefer suits made by Merlin SuitsContact christine the owner and also a camera flyer with hundreds of video jumps.

airdrew20012001 0 #4 February 25, 2002 I jump a flite suit by the folks in davis with a small wing and it works great for me but then again I am tall and skinny. One of the other camera flyers where I work uses a free fly suit made of a really heavy material with swoop cords and it works great for him. He also has a "Camera Suit" that I got to jump this weekend and I really liked it. A word of caution: if you decide to go with a suit from Davis (Flite Suite) be mindful that the arms and the booties are chronically too short and have to be sent back to be re-done. Sounds like you needa big ole wing and really draggy fabric. One thing I have noticed is that booties rock for RW and aren't that great for tandems but others disagree. I'd ask around. You can always call Kevin at Eugene skydivers, he's a big ole hero as well.Drewfus McDoofus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
